He promised fans he would deliver a winner, then again betrayed them—less than a year after teasing them with a spending spree and christening the new stadium they funded. (AP Photo)

Daniel Snyder - Washington Redskins

He's made a lot of bad player investments in Washington, and even as he's brought in big coaching names such as Marty Schottenheimer, Steve Spurrier, Joe Gibbs and Mike Shanahan, none of it has quite worked. For a billion-dollar franchise that always fills the seats, their demanding fan base deserves more. (Pablo Martinez Monsivais/AP)

Michael Jordan - Charlotte Bobcats

Season upon season of futility – including the NBA’s all-time low win percentage in 2011-12 – and swaths of empty seats night after night will get even Michael Jordan placed on this list . (Chuck Burton/AP)

Peter Angelos - Baltimore Orioles

The team’s surprising run to the 2012 postseason had very little to do with Angelos and much more to do with general manager Dan Duquette and manager Buck Showalter. (AP Photos)

Donald Sterling - Los Angeles Clippers

Who knows, maybe the Clippers have turned a corner. But years of lawsuits and losing seasons are what come to mind when L.A. fans think of Donald Sterling. (Mark J. Terrill/AP)

Jerry Jones - Dallas Cowboys

As the guy who writes the checks, sells his brand and passionately cares about his team, Jones does a great job. But the reason he makes the list is the fact in his other role as general manager, the track record hasn't been nearly good enough to end a long Super Bowl drought. (Andy King/AP)

James Dolan - New York Knicks

The Knicks are off to a hot start, but it’s going to take a lot more than that to make New York fans forgive and forget years of disappointment under James Dolan. (Kathy Kmonicek/AP)

Jeremy Jacobs - Boston Bruins

Sure, Jeremy Jacobs owns a team that won the Cup in 2009, but he was a notorious cheapskate long before that, and is the driving force behind the lockout—on the ownership side, at least. (AP Photo)

Bob Nutting - Pittsburgh Pirates

He isn’t responsible for all 20 of the franchise’s consecutive losing seasons, but his failure to pump up the payroll has doomed the Pirates in recent years. (Gene J. Puskar/AP)

Mike Brown - Cincinnati Bengals

Even with the wild-card playoff run they had last season with a new face to their offense, there's a sense that it's happened despite Brown. There are many years of his frustration under his spendthrift ownership that's difficult to overcome with just a few years of sporadic success. (Al Behrman/AP)

Toronto Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment

MLSE presents a rare opportunity: the chance to hear boos from several different fanbases at once. One common thread with the Maple Leafs, Raptors, and Toronto FC: tons and tons of losses. (Nathan Denette/The Canadian Press)

Jorge Vergara - Chivas USA

Although he’s held full control for less than a year, the Mexican businessman is the founder and inspiration behind MLS’ weakest link. Burdened by a brand that turns off legions of potential fans and absent any consistent vision, Chivas USA has burned through six coaches in eight years and ranked dead last in 2012 average attendance.

Robert Kraft - New England Revolution

Kraft’s Midas touch hasn’t extended to his other football team, which continues to frustrate its dwindling fan base with an apparent lack of ambition. The Revolution have MLS’ lowest payroll, fourth-worst attendance (in a cavernous, suburban stadium hardly suited for soccer) and haven’t made the playoffs since 2009. (Bill Wippert/AP)

Joe and Gavin Maloof - Sacramento Kings

Once revered as creative and capable new owners, Joe and Gavin Maloof pulled the rug out from under Kings fans earlier this year by backing out of a deal to build a new arena in Sacramento. (AP Photo)
